Ah, that's what my interpretation was missing.
I had the same thoughts up until that last idea, the most important.

I agree 100% with your interpretation, the fly distracting her from the light, that power of the King that is to be witnessed.

Thanks, I was taking a step back to see what I needed in my interpretation, and that was it.

---

I have no idea why I am being so mean... oh wait yeah its becasue your a little bitch who just claimed to completely agree with someone whos interpretation was completely different from your first attempt.

Suck it.

Get your own interpretation noob. Were you seriously just sitting about waiting for someone to post something you thought looked smart so you could agree with it. Your first reply was shitty so I don't blame you for trying to steal hers.. You only served to point out the obvious:
1. The fly was the central theme.
2. The poem was about death.

did you not read my post PRIOR to hers? I had all of the same elements except the fact that as I saw the fly as merely her main concern, as though neither she, nor her friends/family mattered at that moment, she found that the fly was really that little touch of nature. That power that death has to do what it wants with us.

The fly showed us that what magic we are looking for in death is all just that which we perceive as magical.
The only power that this 'king' has, is what you give him in those moments before death. If a mere fly can blind you of this "power", is it all that powerful?

Is the king not God?

Is the Fly not the Devil?

Is this whole thing not a parody of the marriage of heaven and hell in so few words?

lets look at your other post

Since the fly appers so much I can only assume its a central figure. I think it represents the futility of living. Then again that could just be my mood so suck it. Thats the only real opinion I had after reading. Everything else was advanced English four AP test prep bullshit.

---

So you got that the fly was the central theme as well, bravo. The futility of living? where did you get that? because she said its buzz was blue and uncertain?

grow the fuck up, and if you are going to criticize someone, back your own shit up

edit:
Besides, I didn't try to steal anything, she posted her response, I agreed, I noted my agreement, and then I thanked her for her insight so that I wasn't sitting here thinking about what sounded so un-right about my first thought.

On that not I then disagree with you BOTH.
It is exactly about futility. She was prepared, she had mourners, she was just waiting for the judgment. She got nothing. The fly is the thing which reminds her of this more and more the closer she gets to death and the she sees that there is nothing. You are right in that its interfering with her idea of death as glorious and uplifting. However the reason for that is that the fly represents everything she had wished aginst. Instead bright lights and happiness she got a fly and nothing.

Since Msdjai pointed out that he didn't want people just agreeing with him I assume that he wouldn't want them just agreeing with you either.

You're exegeting his post incorrectly :P

I still want another poem.

Certainly this is an expected passing, planned and arranged, most of these people have gradually mourned her passing and grew to accept it well before this day, but today is the day, it's her passing, her final witness to the proverbial greatness of God, and it's going well, and then a fly enters the scene, buzzing around giving more of a shit about how he get can through that glass pane than anything else.

What message then does she bring us other than the backdrop literality of plans gone awry?

I found this poem interesting because it managed to take a very serious situation like death and then to transfer our attention to a fly.

After death, and even while you're dying, life goes on. It's not a big deal.

I'm not going to post another poem in this thread, maybe another day.
